Practice creating REST API with Flask, Connexion, and SQLAlchemy

Practice creating REST API with Flask, Connexion, and SQLAlchemy by completing a tutorial series provided by Real Python

Why: I want to learn different ways to create REST APIs in Python. Hopefully, this will come in handy when building my own projects.

Part One:

• Build a base Flask project with a REST API
• Handle HTTP requests with Connexion
• Define API endpoints using the OpenAPI specification
• Interact with your API to manage data
• Build API documentation with Swagger UI

What I enjoyed: Implementing Swagger UI into a project I have seen Swagger UI in action in others' projects or already done apply to a bootcamp project, so to finally implement one from scratch and learn how to read its YAML file was a great experience.
